Mrs. Davitt to the Fore,

1t will awaken feeling of fond re-
membrance in the breast of every pat
riotio Irish-American to peruse the
following letter addressed to Mr.. Viii
liam O'Brien by Mrs. Michael Davitt:
DUBLIN. Feb. is. 1887.
MY DEAR Mr.. O'BR1EN:-Wi]l you
take charge Of the enclosed subscrip-
ton for the wives and families Of the
Woodford prisoners? In the more excit-
ing State trials now proceeding there is
a danger that these poor peoples posi-
ton may be overlooked. 1t must not
be forgotten that there are 80 men in
prison who have, doubtless, left as many
families badly in need of their care and
protection. These brave fellows should
not only have the consolation Of know
ing, while incarcerated, that their wives
and little ones are at present protected
against want, but they ought to find, on
their release, their families in better
position, pecunlarlly, than when the
judges savage sentence separated them
from these whose homesteads they so
stoutly defended.
I sincerely hope that our generous
kindred in our transatlantic ireland
will help TO brighten the cabins of the
Woodford prisoners families by showing
how strongly they appreciate the men
by whose courage and sacrifice the Plan
of Campaign has been made SO powerful
a weapon against the tyranny of Irish
landlordism. Wishing yon complete
victory over your enemies in the trial
now going on.
remain, yours sincerely,
MARY DAvrrT.

Rock-a-By, Baby.

A very ludicrous incident occurred
at South Boston, which brought a
frown to the brows Of newly made
benedict and a blush to the cheeks of
his pretty bride. The marriage VOWS
had Just been taken and the newly
welded couple were walking proud
ly from out of the Gate of Heaven
Church, followed by a train of hap
by friends and relatives. Just at
this moment an itinerant German
band halted in front oS the church
and in a measure blocked the pro-
gress Of the wedding procession.
There was a momentary pause, and
suddenly the brass instrument struck
up ''Rock-a-3y, Baby The crowd
"caught on" to the humor of the sit
uation, and burst into a roar of
laughter, and confusion overwhelm-
ed bride, groom and procession.

The Affect of Marital Felicity e9n the
Average Man.

1t does look as If after man got
married he lost all capability for
looking after himself, observes a
writer in the San Francisco Chron-
lcle. How is it that man who, SIS
bachelor, is the pink of neatness, the
glass of fashion and mold of form,
when he gets wife never seems to
be able to 90 anything in the way OF
dressing himself. This young man
was at one time q most notorious
flirt. He had the best cut coats. the
most beautiful boots, the most ele
CANT neckties in the town. He has
been married several years, and he
hardly knows how to button his col
lar now, and would wear his coat
inside out if his wife didn't keep an
eve on him. Is it natural cussed-
ness? Just n desire to give his wife
all the work ard worry he can, or 10
it psychological phenomenon at
tributabe to domesticity? He had
q lucid moment once, this young
man, in which he noticed his boots
were pretty we'll worn. 1t lasted
long enough for him to say to his
wife:
"Haven't I got any other boots I
can wear? These are awful"
"Yes," she said, "there is pair Of
side-button boots in the closet there"
He fetched them out.
GLOW does it come that I've had
these boots all this time and been
wearing these worn out ones 7" Then
he put them on. eyes. / knew there
must be something the matter with
the blamed boots. They don't fit
me at all. | can't walk in them.
And he made faces as he stumbled
up and down the room. "They are
not my boots, yet they are a mans
boots. Madam who is so familiar in
this house as to have a pair OF
boots -"
We'll, dear, they'll perhaps be
more comfortable if you'll put the
right boot on the right foot"

A DUEL IN ALGERIA.

An raj in the French Service

There was formerly in the French service
in Algeria a general of Arab origin, Yusuf
by name. One day all Algeria was moved
to laughter by u ~satirical sketch of Gen.
Yusuf i'll the local papers under tho title of
"Monsieur J%oujou." The writer, it was said,
was NJ. Arthur dc Fronviellc, the editor of
the paper, who took tho responsibility. Soon
after, one fine morning, the journalist heard
a terrible knocking at tho door. "Come in!"
1t was Gen. Yusuf who showed his Arab
visage ut the threshold. He was followed by
an ordnance officer. NJ. dc Fronvielle was
still lying TRANQUILITY in bed. care you NJ.

Yusuf drew his saber, and ut a sign his

was very small-nothing cheerful about this
strange duel. "Take your choice, MONSIEUR
said the general, holding out both swords.
Fronvielle took the officers saber. Yusuf
threw off his tunic, rolled up his sleeves, and
held his saber in his bare arm, which was
corded with the muscles of all athlete. His
white teeth shone from his swarthy face.
Uttering yells like a jackal, and bounding
like q tiger, savage and frightful, he was
making ready to transfix his adversary with
his first stroke. This stroke the newspaper
man Tended, but it cut him terribly on his
right arm. Yusuf stuck the point of his
saber in the floor and said: "You can't use
your arm; to continue the combat would he
murder. We will finish this affair after YOU
are cured" NJ. de Fronvielle saluted.

Apropos of English lack of humor, the fol
lowing good story is told 10y Ben Butterworth
on tho Hon. Chamcey NJ. Depew:
Depew WAS visiting London on one occa-
sion, and was entertained at q dinner of tho
lords of the realm. Being called OH for q
speech, he began ny saying that he arose with
much embarrassment before such n company
for the reason that his friend Gen. Horace
Porter, who usually wrote for him the re-
marks lie made on such occasions, was absent.
He then went on to make the best Of the stu
alton, and made what he thought was q fairly
funny speech; but not q sign Of appreciation
was given, and he sat down feeling that he
had made q failure. His feeling was verified
when lie heard the presiding lord express sor-
row that Mr.. Depew was deprived of the as
sistance of his friend, for they had understood
he was a capital after dinner speaker.
Two days later he met this presiding lord,
who said:
80, Mr.. Dcpew, do you know that I have
that 1 did not SEQ the humor of your speech
until the day after the dinner. lam sorry
we were all so stupid, but now we all agree
wasted our sympathy i'll taking your refer
"My lord" said Dcpew, "did you ride to
London OH a freight trains"
mo, oh, no" said the lord in a tone of sur
prise. II came on tho passenger train. ]
never ride OH %freights."
-Four days later Mr.. Depew was astonished
to see this lord i'll Paris.
II have come" said the lord, expressly to
tell YOU that l never saw tho poiAt of your
question about my riding to London on a
freight trcin until the next day; why, sir,
that's q finer bit of l.lmor than tho otlln'
about your friend Porter"
Mr.. Depew was satisfied that to scatter
humor among the English was unsatisfactory.
